Wilderness and Spirit: A Mountain Called Katahdin explores ways of thinking about the wilderness and how people from many walks of life, past to the present, have found spiritual solace and strength in this mountain called Katahdin. Wilderness and Spirit includes the first recorded footage of the Katahdin 100 Run of the Penobscot people, and the only footage of Earl Shaffer (the first person to ever complete an Applachian Trail Thru Hike) revisiting his historic climb up Katahdin on the 50th anniversary of his achievement. Huey's celebrated film brings together the writings of Henry David Thoreau, the paintings of Frederic Church and Marsden Hartley, interviews with Baxter State Park staff, Governor Baxter's descendants, Lost on a Mountain in Maine subject Donn Fendler, the stories, dances, and music of the Penobscot people, the recollections of Millinocket residents, and the hikers and climbers of Katahdin.
